Cultured beef allergens: Lab-grown meat shows lower IgE binding but heightened alpha-gal reactivity, study finds

, , /in /by

A peer-reviewed study from the University of Canterbury has found that cultured beef cells exhibit a markedly different allergen profile compared to conventional beef steak. Whilst immunoglobulin E (IgE) binding to established meat allergens was lower in lab-grown cells, individuals sensitised to alpha-gal showed significantly stronger immune reactivity to cultured beef — raising important food […]

Researchers propose a novel nanostructured SERS sensor integrated into a stretchable and antimicrobial wrapper for food quality monitoring and preservation.Prof. Ji-Hwan Ha from Hanbat National University, Republic of Korea

Novel SERS sensor wrapper enables real-time food quality monitoring and preservation

, , /in /by

Researchers at Hanbat National University have developed a dual-function food packaging system that combines surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensing technology with antimicrobial properties. The nanostructured wrapper enables real-time, non-destructive detection of nutritional components and spoilage markers whilst actively preserving food through curcumin-based antimicrobial action.

Researchers reprogram yeast cells to produce medium-chain fatty acids as palm oil alternative

, , , /in /by

German and Chinese researchers have developed a protein engineering approach that reprograms metazoan fatty acid synthase to produce short- and medium-chain fatty acids with unprecedented specificity. The technology, demonstrated in the industrial yeast Ogataea polymorpha, offers a sustainable alternative to palm kernel oil extraction for food.
